@aiannuzzi99: it will be an event, lasting 48 h (from 00:00 UTC on November 7th to 24:00 UTC on November 8th), where some airports in a given area (see below) will be controlled.
@KIWI34: nice to hear you'll be providing center services in Austria!
Regarding the practice session, so far none has been announced - it was done only on the first Festival because there were three controllers manning the same airport (LEBL) and we needed to practice coordination/flight plan exchanges. It was omitted on the second one as me and IAHM-COL were the only controllers sharing a position (Rio) - we were quite experienced at that point - and the other manned airports were out of our range.
Since this is your/legoboyvdlp/daweed's first time as ATCs at the Festival, I think a practice session is more than warranted - could mid-October be acceptable? I'll relay this information to the other controllers.

So far, the confirmed airports are:
- elgaton - LOWW (Wien Schwechat - ground + tower)
- KIWI34 - LOWW/Austria (Wien Center)
- legoboyvdlp - LSZS (Samedan)
- IH-COL - LSGG (Geneva)
plus two airports outside the Festival area:
- daweed - LFLL (Lyon Saint Exupery)
- J Maverick 16 - LIPA (Aviano Air Force Base - military aircraft only)
I'm creating - as I type - the Git repository for ground networks/OpenRadar files/route manager routes:
https://github.com/ElGaton/festival-fli ... ember-2015Contributions are accepted and will be, as has been done so far (*), submitted for official inclusion in the relevant repositories, so that our work won't be lost.
I'm also searching for official, up-to-date, freely available charts - expect an update today.
(*) I confess I forgot to submit pull requests for the files created for the May 2015 edition - I'm doing it right now.
